Angel of the Morning
Embrace the Morning's Unspoken Love: A Nina Simone Tale
Lyrics
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Expressing freedom and lack of restrictions in the relationship.
Not if my love can't bind your heart
Love should not be a controlling force; it should be voluntary and unrestrictive.
And there's no need to take a stand
No need to take a firm position or make a commitment.
For it was I who chose to start
Acknowledging personal responsibility for initiating the relationship.
There is no need to take me home
Declaring independence and self-sufficiency; no need for protection.
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Asserting maturity and readiness to face challenges.
Just call me angel of the morning

Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Expressing a desire for a tender gesture before parting.
Just call me angel of the morning

Slowly slowly turn away from me
Suggesting a gradual and gentle departure from the relationship.
Well maybe the sun's light will be dim

but it won't matter anyhow
Minimizing the significance of obstacles, emphasizing the irrelevance of external factors.
If morning echo says we've sinned
Addressing potential criticism or judgment, asserting the pursuit of personal desires.
Well, it was what I wanted now.
Acceptance of the consequences of one's choices and actions.
And if we're the victims of the night
Acknowledging the possibility of being affected by the darkness or challenges of the night.
I promise you I won't be blinded by light
Promising not to be blinded by the light, indicating resilience in the face of difficulties.
Just call me angel

Touch my cheek before you leave me baby.
